5:1 Call 7121 8798 now, if there be 3426 any that will answer 6030 8802 thee; and to which of the saints 6918 wilt thou turn 6437 8799?(turn: or, look?)

5:2 For wrath 3708 killeth 2026 8799 the foolish man 191, and envy 7068 slayeth 4191 8686 the silly one 6601 8802.(envy: or, indignation)

5:3 I have seen 7200 8804 the foolish 191 taking root 8327 8688: but suddenly 6597 I cursed 5344 8799 his habitation 5116.

5:4 His children 1121 are far 7368 8799 from safety 3468, and they are crushed 1792 8691 in the gate 8179, neither [is there] any to deliver 5337 8688 [them].

5:5 Whose harvest 7105 the hungry 7457 eateth up 398 8799, and taketh 3947 8799 it even out 413 of the thorns 6791, and the robber 6782 swalloweth up 7602 8804 their substance 2428.

5:6 Although affliction 205 cometh not forth 3318 8799 of the dust 6083, neither doth trouble 5999 spring out 6779 8799 of the ground 127;(affliction: or, iniquity)

5:7 Yet man 120 is born 3205 8795 unto trouble 5999, as the sparks 1121 7565 fly 5774 8800 upward 1361 8686.(trouble: or, labour)(sparks…: Heb. the sons of the burning coal lift up to fly)

5:8 I would seek 199 1875 8799 unto God 410, and unto God 430 would I commit 7760 8799 my cause 1700:

5:9 Which doeth 6213 8802 great things 1419 and unsearchable 369 2714; marvellous things 6381 8737 without number 4557:(unsearchable: Heb. there is no search)(without…: Heb. till there be no number)

5:10 Who giveth 5414 8802 rain 4306 upon 6440 the earth 776, and sendeth 7971 8802 waters 4325 upon 6440 the fields 2351:(fields: Heb. outplaces)

5:11 To set up 7760 8800 on high 4791 those that be low 8217; that those which mourn 6937 8802 may be exalted 7682 8804 to safety 3468.

5:12 He disappointeth 6565 8688 the devices 4284 of the crafty 6175, so that their hands 3027 cannot perform 6213 8799 [their] enterprise 8454.(their enterprise: or, any thing)

5:13 He taketh 3920 8802 the wise 2450 in their own craftiness 6193: and the counsel 6098 of the froward 6617 8737 is carried headlong 4116 8737.

5:14 They meet 6298 8762 with darkness 2822 in the daytime 3119, and grope 4959 8762 in the noonday 6672 as in the night 3915.(meet…: or, run into)

5:15 But he saveth 3467 8686 the poor 34 from the sword 2719, from their mouth 6310, and from the hand 3027 of the mighty 2389.

5:16 So the poor 1800 hath hope 8615, and iniquity 5766 stoppeth 7092 8804 her mouth 6310.

5:17 Behold, happy 835 [is] the man 582 whom God 433 correcteth 3198 8686: therefore despise 3988 8799 not thou the chastening 4148 of the Almighty 7706:

5:18 For he maketh sore 3510 8686, and bindeth up 2280 8799: he woundeth 4272 8799, and his hands 3027 make whole 7495 8799.

5:19 He shall deliver 5337 8686 thee in six 8337 troubles 6869: yea, in seven 7651 there shall no evil 7451 touch 5060 8799 thee.

5:20 In famine 7458 he shall redeem 6299 8804 thee from death 4194: and in war 4421 from the power 3027 of the sword 2719.(power: Heb. hands)

5:21 Thou shalt be hid 2244 8735 from the scourge 7752 of the tongue 3956: neither shalt thou be afraid 3372 8799 of destruction 7701 when it cometh 935 8799.(from…: or, when the tongue scourgeth)

5:22 At destruction 7701 and famine 3720 thou shalt laugh 7832 8799: neither shalt thou be afraid 3372 8799 of the beasts 2416 of the earth 776.

5:23 For thou shalt be in league 1285 with the stones 68 of the field 7704: and the beasts 2416 of the field 7704 shall be at peace 7999 8717 with thee.

5:24 And thou shalt know 3045 8804 that thy tabernacle 168 [shall be] in peace 7965; and thou shalt visit 6485 8804 thy habitation 5116, and shalt not sin 2398 8799.(thy tabernacle…: or, peace is thy tabernacle)(sin: or, err)

5:25 Thou shalt know 3045 8804 also that thy seed 2233 [shall be] great 7227, and thine offspring 6631 as the grass 6212 of the earth 776.(great: or, much)

5:26 Thou shalt come 935 8799 to [thy] grave 6913 in a full age 3624, like as a shock of corn 1430 cometh in 5927 8800 in his season 6256.(cometh in: Heb. ascendeth)

5:27 Lo this, we have searched 2713 8804 it, so it [is]; hear 8085 8798 it, and know 3045 8798 thou [it] for thy good.(for…: Heb. for thyself)
